Inpatient Bed Sore Check

I recently had to be admitted as an inpatient to the hospital for a biopsy and some treatments. There were two workers, a tech and a nurse who were nice, decent looking women for their age. I was ambulatory so I didn't need help in changing or walking but they were present while they had me change from street clothes into pajama bottoms I had brought and a hospital gown. As I strip down I have the tech in front of me and the nurse behind me watching. The nurse tells me she needs to also do a bed sore check as it's routine for all inpatients being admitted. She needed to see my back, ass and legs for bed sores and to lower my underwear for her to see.

Not one to mind, I dropped my underwear to my knees while they both looked me over, one in front one in back. It wasn't a long check but I enjoyed giving the show. Is that standard procedure? It was a first for me.

Hospital staff are very concerned about avoiding bedsores or pressure wounds. Some will document and even photograph them so they can havre proof they didn’t cause them or make them worse during a patients stay. This is usually for long term bed ridden patients. My wife was hospitalized for a long period and was routinely checked by a wound care specialist to identify and treat any “hot spots” before they became a problem.
